Week 4: How to overcome writer’s block

08:30 AM

I walked into Joseph Maxwell's building and looked at the receptionist who immediately guided me towards his private elevator. I guess she was informed about my arrival. I pressed the 25th floor as she told me and I waited for 10 minutes for it to reach his floor. I walked out and moved into his office.

"Hello Miss Devereaux. I'm sure you were informed about the situation. Thank you for providing protection for me" he said smiling at me.

"It's my job Mr. Maxwell don't worry about it. I'll protect you until Jacobs is caught and in our custody". I said looking at him with a determined look on my face.

Joseph Maxwell, age 28, owner of this gorgeous building and plenty others under the name antitheus that translated from Latin to English spelling devil. It suits as Joseph is a ruthless, arrogant man who has investments in every field and all he cares about is money.

Recently, however Joseph signed a deal with the French and Russian Government on behalf of ours with their representatives as a cover from the public. The deal is an arms deal worth a lot more than the economy of America. Though Jacob the only non – representative of any government and the one who brought the deal to the three is involved with the mafia. He gained access to codes of the three governments nuclear weapons and if it reached the mafia that’s the end for this world. The French representative, businessman Robert Stanley was attacked so now it’s our job to find this Jacob and protect the other two representatives as well.

I was interrupted from my thought process as Joseph spoke again

"Miss Devereaux.."

I looked at him as he handed me some files.

"These are the files about the deal and everything I knew about Jacob and also I have a bit of a travelling to do around the world this month I hope you don't mind accompanying me”

I just nodded my head and started reading the information in the files. I walked out and sat in the cabin his assistant showed me to. He was kind to get me a black coffee while I was reading and said that Joseph has sent it for me. I thanked him and his boss and continued with my work. These files had enough information to start legal investigation against him but not enough to jail him for a lifetime. We needed to collect more facts.

Jacobs was involved with the underworld working for Lucifer. I know every guy thinks of himself as the king of hell. The real Lucifer should burn them in his fire. Jacobs is involved in human trafficking, prostitution, drug rings, serial killings, and every other crime in the world looks like he's the right hand of this Lucifer.

07:00 PM

Joseph came in my office to tell me we were leaving. We left for his house in his car, while his driver drove the car I sat next to Joseph as he asked me too. We reached his place thirty minutes later. He lived on the outskirts of the city. His mansion had tight security but still our organisation wanted someone from our team protecting him as Lucifer is a threat.

He could easily get his hands on Joseph. We reached his mansion, it was pretty huge for a lonely man with no family living with him. It looked like those typical rich mansions you know with the long driveway, fountain and a butler to open the door. Yeah real fancy. We got out and he showed me to my room that was right next to his. He left me to get settled while he himself got comfortable.

I unpacked and put my things away quickly before taking a shower. I put on some pyjamas when there was a knock on the door. I opened it to find Joseph waiting for me.

"Hey dinner's ready let's eat" he said looking at me. I nodded and walked out closing the door behind me.

I followed him into the dining room to find the table set for us. The food looked good but it was also my favourite dishes, mac and cheese along with chicken pops. I don't know if he knew that was my favourite or he just randomly prepared it.

"I made it because I know you like it. I asked the agency for your details and it mentioned your food choices so... I hope you're not upset with me having your details" he said all this looking at me.

I didn’t know what to say as I didn’t care about the fact that he had my details or was kind enough to prepare my favourite. Don’t get me wrong I’m grateful for his nice gesture but it’s just weird. I smiled at him thanking him for preparing food for me. I sat down and he served me despite my protests. He sat down serving for him as well. I tasted it and a moan involuntarily left my mouth. It was delicious I've never tasted macaroni and cheese like this before even the chicken pops were crispy and tasted good with mac and cheese.

"It's really delicious thank you for making this for me" I said looking at Joseph as he smiled at me and continued eating.

After dinner we loaded the dishes in the dishwasher and left to our rooms saying good night. I got back to my room and pulled out my laptop. I always made a entry in my journal on my laptop everyday. It helped a lot to remember things better. I then started hacking into small parts of Jacobs business to see how well was it doing and tally his business charts. I believe he's laundering money from his company to the mafia. I worked until 11pm then packed everything up. I slept peacefully that night for some unknown reason not known to me yet.
